Shortly after.
The news that Sun Dasheng and Long Batian taught Shen Changsheng a lesson spread back to Datang.
After learning that master Shen Changsheng and his apprentice were beaten violently by his two father-in-laws, Tang Yu had a happy smile on his lips. This was really satisfying to Tang Yu!
In fact, Tang Yu had long expected that someone was behind it, otherwise it would be impossible for three thousand Confucian scholars to appear in Datang at the same time.
Besides Shen Changsheng, Tang Yu could not think of anyone else who could have such influence.
"Your Majesty, although Shen Changsheng has been taught a lesson, the Confucian matter has not been resolved yet."
Qi Lufu and Xu Shize stood on the left and right of Tang Yu.
Qi Lufu hesitated for a moment and continued: "Nowadays, all the Confucian scholars in the world hate the Tang Dynasty. They think that the Tang Dynasty does not respect Confucianism enough and does not take their Confucianism seriously. They require us to apologize to the Confucian scholars all over the world."
Apologize?
Tang Yu smiled coldly, not taking these Confucian scholars seriously at all.
The next second, Tang Yu looked at Xu Shize and said, "Old Xu, what do you think of this matter?"
Although Tang Yu will not apologize, the Confucian issue must be resolved, otherwise Datang will always be at the forefront.
Over time, it will inevitably be detrimental to Datang.
Xu Shize slowly said: "In the prosperous times, Confucianism was on the rise in the world, but now that the world is in chaos, Confucianism does not apply to the current Tang Dynasty. There is no problem in using Confucianism to cultivate one's moral character, but when it comes to governing the country, Confucianism is still Too tender.”
"So, I think it is impossible to apologize. This is not only about His Majesty's face, but also about the majesty of Datang. If I apologize this time, wouldn't it mean that Datang is a soft persimmon."
In Xu Shize's eyes, just kill those Confucian scholars and it's not important at all. What matters is how to deal with these subsequent events.
Killing Confucian scholars is not the purpose, the purpose is to let the whole world see the attitude of the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, Xu Shize did not say any more. Based on his understanding of Tang Yu, he guessed that the latter had already found a solution. After all, Tang Yu was not a man who acted on his own initiative.
It seems that killing the Confucian scholar was an impulsive act, but in fact it had ulterior motives!
"If I guess correctly, Your Majesty should have thought of a solution." Xu Shize said meaningfully.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian and others present all looked at Tang Yu.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Yu nodded with a half-smile and said, "Old Xu, you are right. I do have a solution."
It turns out that Tang Yu didn't kill Jiang Qingshu simply because the other party contradicted him.
But for Datang!
If the Tang Dynasty wants to develop, it must unify its beliefs. Anyone who can split the Tang Dynasty must be eradicated as soon as possible!
"Prime Minister Xu just said it right. I am also a great Confucian, so I will not deny Confucianism, but when it comes to governing people's livelihood, Confucianism is simply misleading!"
A flash of light flashed in Tang Yu's eyes, and he said: "I declare that from now on, the Tang Dynasty will become a world ruled by law. Confucianism can exist, but it must be dominated by Legalism and Confucianism as a supplement!"
What!
In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone was shocked by what Tang Yu said.
You know, since the existence of the Seven Kingdoms, almost all emperors have adopted Confucianism as the mainstay, Legalism as the supplementary one, and so on.
If Tang Yu really did this, it would not just be as simple as offending Confucianism.
